I got all the records and put them on a disk for now I can open them but my
memory is so low it won't let me print them so until I figure out what is
wrong I viewed them.
Here is what I have to add to your information.
There is another sister Elizabeth to Barbara who came to US in 1740.The father of Hans, Emanuel, Barb, and Eliz. was married to Engel Stohler on
Nov. 18 1690. Engels B-day is Feb. 7 1669. I have the names of her parents
also.Adams wife's name was Elssbeth Detweiler. They were married on Aug. 20 1695.
I have no children for them.Peter did have a daughter Barbara and another daughter Elizabeth born infamy
of 1540. The name I have for his wife is Frieda Spinnler. They were married
on July 22 1534-35 depending on which record you use.I will go over my records again and see if now I can find a father for Hans
who is married to Engel.
Hi Jim, thanks so much for the answer and access to the webpage. I am a beginner in the geneology department, so my information is mostly the result of the work of others. Regarding the info on the children of William Spencer Sullivan and Mary Adeline Puckett, what I have is gathered from family members. I don't know what year the family moved from Calamine, but I think it was sometime in the late 20's or early 30's. Barbara Harrod, Aunt Pearl's eldest, has zillions of stories about living on the family's eighty acres they bought in the area which is now Camp Robinson in North Little Rock. She was only a few years younger than Aunt Winifred. William Spencer Sullivan had passed away by the time that property was condemned to become an army training camp, and Mary Adeline Sullivan and 10 of her children were forced to relocate in Little Rock, in town. Sometime after that the older sons and Mary Adeline Puckett bought Blackwood Island, in the middle of the Arkansas River, where they made a living truck farming up into the 1960's. Incidentally, Blackwood Island was condemned by the City of Little Rock in the 1960's, and the sons were forced to relocate again, this time to farm near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Maybe some dates can be put to this info; we only have Aunt Pearl and Uncle Charlie left of the children. I did not find Otto Sullivan in the Calamine cemetery; however Lois had a very well-marked grave with a good headstone. I also didn't find him at Bayou Meto Cemetery, but did find William Spencer, Mary Adeline, and their daughter Gladys May. All had small but nice headstones.
Does Gene have e-mail? I would love to contact him. Tell Ellen hello, and hope to hear from you guys often!
